On top of that, Northern said there’s no guarantee Dyer would be eligible to play. “Everyone assumes that since he’s coming to an FCS program, he’d be able to play right away,” he said. “But since he’s already transferred, for any player coming down, there would have to be a waiver for him to play.”

Prairie View, an FCS school, finished 5-6 last season with a running back-by-committee approach. Fred Anderson (540 yards, five TDs) and Le’Darryae Groover (519, three TDs) were the Panthers’ top rushers. Anderson is a sophomore and Groover is a junior this season.

Earlier this week, Dyer also wrote, “Auburn will always be the place I wanted to finish out my college career.. I apologize to all the fans that I let down #WarEagle”.
